Research

My research seeks to achieve two goals: (1) ensure that all of our communities, especially those marginalized and vulnerable, are prepared for the implications of climate change; and (2) mitigate our contributions to man-made global warming. This work involves mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, from identifying exposure and vulnerability to climate threats (i.e., extreme heat, flooding), to analyzing and proposing equitable and inclusive policy.
